The skepticism and debate around the question of "are we alone in the universe" makes the field of astrobiology more cautious ...

Antarctica could see a doubling of extreme weather events—such as atmospheric rivers—by 2100, with implications for future sea level rise. Soil moisture is a key regulator of temperature and ...

Atmospheric scientists agree that from 1950 to 1985, our atmosphere cooled very slightly. It did the same from 1997 to 2015. During both periods, carbon dioxide levels rose dramatically.

Sometimes the temperature outside feels warmer than it is, and there's a reason. Here's a breakdown of the heat index.

An image created using satellite data showing an atmospheric river hitting the West Coast on January 4, 2023. The long blue plume is the river, funneling extreme amounts of precipitation to the coast.

The magnitude of a temperature increase since mid-2023 is puzzling scientists. Last year, 2024, was the warmest year on record for the planet, easily breaking the previous record set just a year ...

In 2017 I also detailed how in 2015, prior to the Paris climate treaty negotiations, researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) blended contaminated ocean temperature ...

The VASI (Venus Atmospheric Structure Investigation) instrument aboard NASA’s Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging, or DAVINCI, mission to Venus ...

By the 1970s, researchers were measuring those emissions in the atmosphere and warning Earth’s temperature could warm between 0.5 and 5 degrees Celsius by the mid-21st century.
